Consumer Description

IT WAS SNOWING AND I STARTED MY CAR TO WARM IT UP. I CLEANED OFF THE WINDOWS WITH MY SNOW BRUSH. WHENEVER I GOT INTO THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THEY MOVED FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN STOPPED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE WIPERS. THEY WERE MOVING FREELY. NOTHING I DID WOULD MAKE THE WIPERS WORK. I WENT ONLINE AND CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY HHR WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FOUND THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. ON ONE WEBSITE, CHEVY HHR.NET, THERE EVEN IS A DISCUSSION BOARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT'S THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION AND FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ THIS HAPPENS BETWEEN 60,00 AND 85,000 MILES ON THE HHR AND CHEVY COBALT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR IS @$300.00 AND I'M WONDERING WHY GM WOULD MAKE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A PART THAT FAILS SO EASILY. *TR
